Big Day of Gratefulness
Thursday more than anything filled my heart with a sense of tremendous gratitude for all the people in our community attending to our safety as well as our connectedness. Despite the horrible terror in the community this week, this amazing Davis community rallied all week to serve those with the least. Then turned out to fund community organizations with what looks like over 2300 people raising nearly $400,000 in our community in one day.
While Cool Davis didn’t meet our goals for the day or use up all our matching funds, we are gratified by the participation of so many people in support of our work. We raised a preliminary total of $23,332 leaving over $8000 in match funding still available if you would like to still donate. If you weren’t able to give or were not inclined to give due to the state of our community we understand. We want you to know we welcome any way you would like to participate in our work.
We were particularly glad to host the afternoon Gratefulness Session with special guest NJ Mvondo from the City of Davis Human Relations Commission and Chair of the Yolo County Climate Action Commission and Kerry Loux, City of Davis Sustainability Coordinator. Here is a temporary link to that conversation until we get it posted to our #LiveCoolDavis YouTube channel.

Again we are so grateful for the amazing people in our community who do so much and have made such a difference in this difficult moment for so many people!
